ARTIFICIAL ROME

They create immersive narratives that captivate audiences. Using a multiplatform approach, they design purely virtual experiences with the potential to enhance physical exhibitions through interactive installations. Specializing in exhibits and digital concepts, they work at the intersection of art, education, politics, and science, employing technologies like augmented and virtual reality for lasting impact.

Patrik is the Artistic Director of Artificial Rome. It’s not always the easiest job when you’re dealing with a bunch of individualists and – let’s face it – nerds. Astonishingly, he manages to keep up with this matter-of-fact feature and still works as an excellent designer with an ingenious output.

Born in 1979 in Bochum, Germany, he started out by the age of 18 and was dragged along by the new economy hype.
Aged 20 Patrik started freelancing at various advertising agencies, studying Communication & Illustration Design in the meantime. In 2004 he teamed up with Dirk Hoffmann, they would co-found Artificial Rome in 2014. Since then, the team has, in successive years, received many awards in prestigious competitions including the Cannes Lions, the Art Directors Club, the Red Dot Award and the New York Festivals.
